What is Universal extractor 2?
Universal Extractor 2, or Universal Extractor (Bioruebe version) as it's also known to avoid confusion, is an unofficial update and extended version of Jared Breland's original Universal Extractor. As development on the original version has ceased with no updates released for years, numerous forks (community-modified and maintained versions) of Universal Extractor have emerged. This is the most advanced and the only one with a public GitHub-hosted source code repository for fully transparent development.
As a brief overview, here are some of the new features in this version:
Batch mode
Silent mode with no prompts
Scan-only mode to determine file types without extraction
Integrated updater
100+ newly supported file types
Audio and video extraction for multimedia files
Cascading context menus
Support for password lists for common archives
Improved status box with progress indicators
New detection methods + more detailed output and error messages
Support for some extractors not shipped with UniExtract as plugins
Resource usage/speed improvements, numerous fixes
Launches the assistant first instead of the installer
Portable version with full functionality
Automatically uses 64-bit versions of extractors if supported by the OS
